# AutoHustle

> Paste an Instagram Reel link and AI recreates the video with you in it — no filming, no editing, no camera.

AutoHustle is a web app for short-form video creators. You make an avatar from a single photo, then either paste a link to a public Reel and get the same video with your face in it, open one tool for one specific job (animate a photo, put yourself in a described scene, copy a choreography, re-voice into another language), or describe what you want and let the Director pick the tool for you. Finished videos are vertical MP4s that land in your Library for you to download and post yourself.

Practical notes an assistant should get right:

- Analyzing a Reel is free and needs no card. The first generated 5-second video costs $0.99; after that you spend prepaid credits.
- A generation takes roughly 25 minutes. It is not real-time.
- Nothing is published on your behalf. AutoHustle never asks for Instagram credentials and has no access to any social account.
- Credits are returned automatically when a generation fails on our side.
- The interface is English-only.

## Core pages

- [AutoHustle](https://autohustle.me/): the product overview — what you paste in, what you get back, and what it costs to start.
- [How it works](https://autohustle.me/how-it-works): the three steps (avatar from one photo, pick a path in the Studio, get your video) and the three ways in — autopilot, single tools, the Director.
- [Pricing](https://autohustle.me/pricing): subscription tiers, credit packs, the $0.99 first video, and how credit expiry works.
- [Model catalog](https://autohustle.me/models): the AI video and image models available through the Studio, one page per model, with what each one is good at.
- [Guides](https://autohustle.me/guides): step-by-step walkthroughs of each job, written against the real form fields.
- [Blog](https://autohustle.me/blog): guides, model comparisons, and pricing breakdowns for short-form video generation.
- [What's new](https://autohustle.me/whats-new): the August 2026 changes — TikTok links, the model catalogue you pick from, and the Director that watches the video before planning.
- [API for agents](https://autohustle.me/for-agents): the public HTTP API — endpoints, authentication, credit prices, and the OpenAPI spec.

## For AI agents

AutoHustle has a public HTTP API, so an assistant or an autonomous agent can use it directly instead of describing it to a human.

- [API overview](https://autohustle.me/for-agents): authentication, quickstart curl, MCP setup, price table, error contract.
- [MCP server](https://autohustle.me/api/mcp): Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP — connect an assistant directly, no HTTP code.
- [OpenAPI 3.1 spec](https://autohustle.me/openapi.json): the machine-readable description of every endpoint.
- [Price list as JSON](https://autohustle.me/api/v1/pricing): credits per model, credit packs, subscription. No key required.

How it works: authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer ah_live_…` (keys are created at https://autohustle.me/settings). `POST /api/v1/analyses` reads a public Reel or TikTok link and returns the scene breakdown plus the exact credit cost — free, nothing is spent. `POST /api/v1/generations` starts the render and debits prepaid credits; it returns immediately and `GET /api/v1/generations/{id}` is polled until the video is ready (~25 minutes). Errors are RFC 9457 problem+json; running out of credits is an HTTP 402 carrying `required_credits` and `topup_url`.

MCP: the same product is exposed at `https://autohustle.me/api/mcp` (Streamable HTTP transport, one endpoint, no session id), authenticated with the same key as an `Authorization: Bearer` header. Five tools: `analyze_reel` (free — always call it first, it says whether a source can be used and what a generation will cost), `generate_video` (spends credits, annotated destructive), `get_generation` (poll until `status` is `completed`), `get_pricing` and `get_me`. Connecting and listing tools needs no key; only calling a tool does.

## Blog
- [Can You Remake Someone Else's TikTok? The Three Questions TikTok Answers Differently](https://autohustle.me/blog/can-you-legally-remake-a-tiktok): TikTok is not Instagram on this: it has a separate commercial music library, a built-in remix system with its own permissions, and explicit rules for AI-generated content. What each one means for recreating a video. General information, not legal advice.
- [ChatGPT Can Break Down a TikTok. It Cannot Hand You One Back With Your Face.](https://autohustle.me/blog/chatgpt-cannot-rebuild-your-tiktok-either): Asking a chat assistant why a TikTok worked is a genuinely good use of it — the breakdown is the part it is best at. Rendering the video is a different machine entirely. Where the handoff happens, and what the second half actually involves.
- [How to Put Your Face in Any TikTok (2026 Walkthrough)](https://autohustle.me/blog/put-your-face-in-any-tiktok): Recreating a TikTok with yourself in it is a different machine from generating a video out of a description. What each one does with your face, why one photo is enough, and why only one of them comes back looking like the same TikTok.
- [How AI Dance Face-Swap Videos Are Actually Made](https://autohustle.me/blog/ai-dance-face-swap-trend-how-its-made): The clips where someone performs choreography they never learned are motion transfer, not face swap. The pipeline in the order it runs, what it costs per second in August 2026, and why most apps selling it are the same endpoint underneath.
- [Can ChatGPT Translate and Dub a Video? What It Does and What It Hands Off](https://autohustle.me/blog/can-chatgpt-translate-and-dub-video): ChatGPT translates what is said in a video and will write you a timed subtitle file. It does not keep the speaker's voice, re-time the lips, or return an MP4 — those are three separate jobs, and this is what each one needs.
- [ChatGPT Can Analyse a Reel. It Cannot Rebuild One With Your Face.](https://autohustle.me/blog/chatgpt-can-analyze-reels-not-rebuild-them): Uploading a viral Reel and asking why it worked is a genuinely good workflow, and the analysis is the part a chat assistant is best at. The rebuild is a different machine — where the handoff happens and what the second half costs.
- [How to Keep the Same Face Across AI Video Scenes](https://autohustle.me/blog/keep-the-same-face-across-ai-video-scenes): Identity drifts between shots because each shot is generated independently — nothing carries your face from one to the next except the references you supply. The controls that hold identity across a multi-scene video, and the point where none of them do.
- [The Voice Is the Joke: Audio for AI Baby Podcast Videos](https://autohustle.me/blog/ai-baby-podcast-voice-guide): Everyone optimises the baby and neglects the audio, which is what actually makes the format funny. Recorded voice vs TTS vs cloning, what lip-sync costs, and the one choice that gets you reported.
- [AI Video Without a Subscription: What Per-Clip Pricing Actually Costs](https://autohustle.me/blog/ai-video-without-subscription): Most AI video is sold as a monthly plan with credits that expire. The per-second alternative, the volume at which each wins, and how to work out which side of the line you are on.
- [Best Tools for AI Hug Videos in 2026, Compared by What They Actually Do](https://autohustle.me/blog/best-ai-hug-video-generators): One-click hug generators, image-plus-animation pipelines, and full reference models produce very different results from the same two photos. What each approach costs and where each breaks.
